WARNING: If you are not familiar with the registry or its purpose and functions, do not mess with it! Any acts of stupidity WRT the Windows registry can and will lead to the entire computer not booting up at all!

With that out of the way, fire-up regedit.exe (Via windows start-menu –> run –> regedit.exe)
